    Driving

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Dull, boring and unrefined, but this is not a sports car.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Engine does have power when abused.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Constantly breaking down, poor electrics, sticking windows, and rattly trim.

    It's a Montego estate, it can not help it.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Loads of space, and decent headroom.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    No security features, although does a Montego estate need them? Lets be fair.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Three points for parts availability, but I would not pay dealer servicing prices.
